TEIEN Project Description
In support of a strengthened protection of the European environment,
increased knowledge on the state of the environment in the Member States is
crucial. For this purpose Member States collect and report a broad range of
environmental data to the European Commission (EC), the European Environment
Agency and EUROSTAT.
Turkey has initiated major steps to comply with the EU environmental acquis communitaire within the framework of the accession to the EU. Turkey is already a member of the European Environmental Agency and the OECD. Today Turkish authorities today collect environmental data, some of which are shared with a range of international institutions.
To facilitate the exchange of environmental data, the MoEF has launched development of the Turkish Environmental Information Exchange Network (TEIEN), a single electronic network that would allow for easy access and sharing of environmental data between institutions dealing with environmental issues. Establishment of the network is part of the National Strategy Document; it will enhance the inter-institutional cooperation in the environmental sector and thereby ensure that environmental concerns are integrated into the national policy and planning process.
While the TEIEN will be a national network that serves national needs, it will enhance Turkey’s capacity in the field of environmental reporting, as a candidate country and a member of the EEA. Furthermore, the TEIEN will support public access to objective, reliable and relevant environmental information and thereby contribute to the overall efforts in building e-government in Turkey.
Technical assistance to the TEIEN comprises the following activities:
